Rue de Paris
1895 - 1905
Imagine standing on a Parisian corner around 1900, squinting through the haze—this sketch by Frédéric Houbron captures exactly that vibe. Using faint, delicate lines, the artist outlines towering apartment blocks and a horse-drawn carriage that looks ready to clip-clop right off the page. It’s not a polished masterpiece but rather a fleeting visual note, preserving the quiet rhythm of daily life before the modern city took over. The distant dome peeks out like a secret landmark, reminding us that even in a rough sketch, Paris is always Paris.
